no i havent tried yet...i dont know where to embed the code. can you please guide me how to install a plugin in my blog.

Once installed, each plugin has its own ways of being used. You'll have to read the instructions that come with the plugin.

does Wordpress have paid account? I never know it. What features are extra?

Are you speaking about a Wordpress blog set up on your own hosting or a free Wordpress.com blog. It is the free Wordpress blogs on wordpress.com where you aren't able to add in your own plugins, that is where you would want to have your own setup.

Yes johny...worpress also offer paid blogs...where you have to pay monthly or yearly. and paid blogs includes extra features like plugins, better ranking and page indexing etc etc

Didn't know this. I guess you're out of luck, David. Or you get your own hosting and set your wordpress blog up there, or you'll have to get a paid wordpress blog hosting account, I guess

I think you can't use plugin in free wordpress blogs without the default ones. I tried it a lot but I couldn't find PLUGIN option in free wordpress "wp-admin"

Thanks

Yes but is that the WordPress from wordpress.org or the one at wordpress.com?
